Standard [June-Bearing] Varieties of Strawberries 



UNIFORM PRICES of all varieties, unless 

 quoted otherwise: Layer Plants, dozen, 50c; 

 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. (For prices of POT- 

 GROWN plants see page 18.) 



BARRYMORE — The bluntly conical berries are 

 of large size, beautiful, firm, meaty, and of rich and 

 sugary quality. The color is dark crimson (which it 

 holds unchanged after being picked), with glossy 

 surface; the flesh is deep red. Midseason to late. 



BRAND YWINE — Bears great quantities of uni- 

 formly large, bright crimson berries that are not 

 only firm enough for shipment, but of good qualify 

 as well. Demands rich soil. Midseason. 



BUNN'S SPECIAL — A glorified "Senator Dun- 

 lap" producing far more fruit than that popular old 

 variety, and the fruit is larger. Dozen, 75c; 100, 

 $2.50. 



CHESAPEAKE — Where properly grown, on 

 rich soil, this berry is well-nigh perfect. The berries 

 are uniform in size and shape, mostly heart-shaped; 

 the color is bright crimson and the flesh firm and of 

 excellent quality. Ripens from midseason to late. 

 Dozen, 65c; 100, $1.75; 1,000, $12.00. 



COLLINS — Invaluable because at its best be- 

 tween the midsummer and late varieties. A wonder- 

 ful acquisition providing a constant supply of high-' 

 class berries. Most useful as a shipper. Dozen, 

 75c; 100, $2.00. 



EATON — Remarkable size, excellent color and 

 superior flavor combine to make this one of the 

 really worth-while recent introductions. A great 

 yielder, while its dark red color makes it one of the 

 most desirable for canning. Dozen, 75c; 100, 

 $2.00. * 



GANDY — Introduced by us over thirty years 

 ago and still grown commercially to a greater extent 

 than probably any other sort. The texture is of the 

 firmest and the color, a bright flame. Of large size 

 but not of the highest quality. It is late to very late 

 in ripening. 



GLEN MARY — An old popular favorite, es- 

 pecially through the Middle Atlantic and New Eng- 

 land States, where it does best. Because of its su- 

 perb quality and tremendous productivity it is, 

 without doubt, one of the most satisfactory varieties 

 to grow. Should be planted near some good pol- 

 Ienizer such as Joe. 



HOWARD No. 17 — Under favorable soil condi- 

 tions this is one of the most valuable recent intro- 

 ductions. A good second early, bearing good sized 

 berries oyer a long season; an intensely strong 

 grower, with large, beautifully colored berries of uni- 

 formly high quality. Dozen, 75c. ; 100, $2.00. 



JOE (Joe Johnson, Big Joe) — A midseason to 

 late variety, fully up to Chesapeake in size, firmness 

 and yield, and superior to it in flavor and color. It 

 also succeeds in a great variety of soils. This is a 

 berry that will not disappoint. Our stock of this 

 variety is extra choice.

JUDITH — The large well flavored fruit main- 

 tains its size uniformly throughout the season. The 

 deep red berries are large, pointed in shape, and of a 

 deep red color throughout, to the core. The berries 

 are firm and full of juice, a combination that makes 

 this variety ideal for both home and market garden. 

 The berries are borne in large clusters, while the 

 bright green foliage and the strong plants cause the 

 fruits to stand out in beautiful contrast. Dozen, 

 75c; 100, $2.00. 



LUPTON — Berries are large, bluntly conical, 

 bright flame-colored, glossy and retain their color 

 after being picked. They are also very firm, hence 

 splendid for market. Practically ideal in growth of 

 plant and vigor. 



MARSHALL — Still very popular in the East. 

 The plant, of vigorous growth, with clean, healthy 

 foliage, is inclined to be unproductive except upon 

 fertile soil and under high culture. The beautiful 

 large berries are of extremely high quality and meaty 

 texture. Midseason. 



NEW YORK — Another "quality" berry ripen- 

 ing in midseason. It is in many respects very much 

 i like Marshall, but appears to give better 

 / results under less exacting soil conditions.
